[Boatanchors] Re:part needed

[Tom NØJMY]

I've got a HB power supply with pots that have short solid shafts and a 
screwdriver slot on the end.  You can't change the setting without a 
screwdriver.  The shafts stick out of the panel about 1/2" including the 
nut and washer.  Maybe you could track something down like that?
